After the coroner helped move Williams to Porter and Sons Funeral Home, workers were getting ready to embalm him when he started to move.

"He was not dead, long story short," funeral home manager Byron Porter said. Porter said he had never seen anything like it before.

Paramedics took Williams to the hospital.

Family members say they're happy he's alive. His daughter Martha Lewis said, "I don't know how much longer he's going to grace us and bless us with his presence, but hallelujah, we thank him right now, right now!"
